Employee Testimonials
Employee

“I have always been passionate about working in a dynamic environment where ideas are encouraged and creativity is valued. The best part about this organisation is that it is more of a family. It has always helped me put forward my views and supported me in growing as a journalist.”

Employee

“Learning and growth opportunities. I thrive in environments where I can constantly learn new things and develop my skills. In my previous role, I loved being exposed to different projects and receiving mentorship from experienced colleagues. It helped me grow both professionally and personally.”

Employee

“I like the friendly atmosphere in this organization, the organization's standing shoulder to shoulder with its employees in their troubles (the best example of which is the lockdown, because when people were losing their jobs, there was not even a day's delay in the payment of our salaries and we did not feel any kind of inconvenience). I like all these things and this organization has remained committed to its tradition till date.”

It's also heartening to see them involved in my work and push me to do better, by contributing to my ideas, stories, thinking and writing.”
